Ditto is the only mobile database with built-in edge device connectivity and resiliency, enabling apps to synchronize without relying on a central server or constant cloud connectivity. Through the use of CRDTs and P2P mesh replication, Ditto's technology enables you to build collaborative, resilient applications where data is always available and up-to-date for every user, and can even be synced in completely offline situations. This allows you to keep mission-critical systems online when it matters most. Devices running Ditto apps can discover and communicate with each other directly, forming an ad-hoc mesh network rather than routing everything through a cloud server. The platform automatically handles the complexity of discovery and connectivity using both online and offline channels – Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, local LAN, WiFi, Cellular – to find nearby devices and sync data changes in real-time.

If you’ve ever dealt with slow VPNs, or clunky ZTNA agents that degrade app performance, you’re not alone. Many IT teams are stuck balancing security with usability—and often end up sacrificing both. Here is a different approach. The high-performance ZTNA service that is part of a personal SASE solution from Cloudbrink can upgrade or replace traditional VPNs while fixing the performance and complexity that come from other vendors in the ZTNA and SASE space. Built as a software-only service, Cloudbrink delivers sub-20ms latency and 1Gbps+ speeds per user using dynamically deployed FAST edges and a proprietary protocol that recovers packet loss before it impacts the app. Security isn’t bolted on—it’s built in. With mutual TLS 1.3, short-lived certs, and no exposed IPs, Cloudbrink provides real zero trust without making users suffer through poor connections or overloaded POPs. If you’ve been burned by “next-gen” solutions that still feel like 2008, it might be time for something new.
